NOTE: When the setup password is enabled, you must know the setup password before you can reset the Chassis Intrusion option. Padlock Ring and Security Cable Slot Use one of the following methods to secure your computer: • Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the padlock ring. A padlock alone prevents the computer from being opened. A security cable looped around a stationary object and used in conjunction with the padlock can help prevent the unauthorized movement of the computer. • Attach a commercially available antitheft device to the security cable slot on the back of the computer to prevent the unauthorized movement of the computer. Antitheft devices usually include a segment of metal-stranded cable with an attached locking device and key. Dell recommends that you use a Kensington lock. For instructions on installing this kind of antitheft device, see the documentation that accompanied the device. 42 Advanced Features
